What I learn about men each day

My life in a coffee shop. May interactions and dealings with customers every day. Mostly about men because they are so memorable. For women to read because we will see these traits in all of our men.

I created a new website

The other side of the retail coin. How bad have your retail experiences been this holiday season? How bad has the traffic been? How much are co-workers annoying you?

http://www.Youjusttickedmeoff.com

a new website that will be up and running soon. Until then enjoy the blog.

You will feel better after a rant!

Adult Novelties?

Please? Will someone who has any familiarity at all with Florida, tell me why the state is full of Strip Clubs and Adult Stores. The billboards on the interstate are full of crocodile wrestling posters and adult store directions. "LIVE NUDES 2 MILES AHEAD". Maybe they are at the same place as the croc wrestling???
Does it have to do with being a Republican state or is it just in-breeding, Jerry Springer sort of people?
I did notice that there are tons of mobile home parks in the state. The Adult industry seems to have very sturdy construction in their buildings unlike a mobile home. Just remember that tornadoes seem to make a bee-line for the mobile homes first. You don't often hear on the news about a tornado taking out an adult store.
Funny, but as I sit here thinking about my vacation, Florida comes to mind 1st. I met some wonderful-delightful people, however what I recall is the billboards.
What do you think?
Merry Christmas

LIsten up Spandex Wearers!

OK you know I have a problem with "Sweaty Money". Here is a solution.

One of our favorite customers at the Buck came in the other day and showed us his JIMI.
No not that JIMI, but the one he keeps his ID and paper money in and a few credit cards.
It is a really thin plastic wallet that snaps closed and keeps money DRY!!!!! What a great invention and it saves me a lot of time drying sweaty bills.
He also said that it comes in a favorite Hot PINK color. Now the yoga women can buy one as well. They always come in with no wallet. However they pull money out of their sweaty bra top. After yoga for 1 hour or more do I really want to accept this money?? What do you think.
Sorry for the abscence, but I have been soooooo over-worked after vacation that I haven't had extra time to blog.
I do have great stories to tell. For example:
Getting lost in The Great Smokey Mts
Getting lost in Georgia
Visiting Ft Pulaski and Savannah
Waffle House
Cracker Barrell
Staying at the Knights Inn- next to a strip club in Fla
Who new there were so many strip clubs in Fla?
The white sandy beaches of the Gulf
Then there are the airplane stories. Flights are getting weirder and weirder all the time.
Until next blog
Gotta go to work
Happy Holidays, can I still say Merry Christmas? PC??

Cracker Barrel

Anyone been to a Cracker Barrel? It is a chain of restaurants in the South. They are amazing. I have found a retail/restaurant experience better than Starbucks for service. They also have the most unbelievable assortment of throwback merchandise . Throwback to your childhood things. Games and candy and yahoo decorations from when you were a kid. The most friendly servers and they all had great southern accents. Hard to understand sometimes. Then there was the iced tea! Sweet tea or unsweetened? I guess I am a Yankee if I don't like my tea sweetened. Whooo , is that tea sweetened!
Gotta go to work now
Have a great day

I'm Back

Well hello there readers. I am home safe tonight from my trip. I forgot to tell about my Fear of Flying thing. But all is well on the West Coast tonight.
The Waffle House was awesome. But whoever was right. Just get WAFFLES!!!
More later, it's been a long, long day. "What a long strange trip it's been!"
